I’ve written article after article about the famous natural springs like Hamilton Pool and Jacob’s Well, but sometimes the real hidden gems are the ones truly worth a visit. Tonkawa Springs in Garrison is just that – a beautiful swimming hole that you can actually enjoy because it won’t be constantly packed to the brim with people. It’s a camp and RV park as well, so if you need a place to stay overnight, look no further.

Can you believe water this color exists in Texas? It looks like a tropical paradise.

It may not quite compare to Hamilton Pool or Barton Creek, but the lack of huge crowds makes it totally worth it.
